Regradless, I'm very excited about these units. But I admit, my post was
based on Visual Lab Evaluation, not proven field deployment over time, as I
just received the units. What will matter most, is real world trials. If it
looses 2-3db, that would be disappointing. I do not have the history to
compare Alvarion against their own older models, and can only compare them
to multiple other manufacturer units, that we've used over time. I look
forward to your feedback, and plan to share mine, as we get them installed.

You never had an older unit..smaller. More appealing does not always mean
much..the units have 2 or 3 db less received signal the revC and the weather
seal is questionable..we have installed 12 of them this week so I will
reserve my option for a bit on the new radios..marty

I just received my first order of the new Alvarion, Horiz or Vert Polarity
mountable, CPE.
I have to say, SWEEEEET!!
The units come with a Solid heavy Duty Mounting Design. I believe it will
mount on anything from 1-1/4" to 5" pipes. Comes with thick all-thread, less
likely to strip. Teethed Mounting Angles are part of the Case to prevent
rotation slip. Still solid metal backing for optimal Heat-disapation and
F/B ratio shielding. Its foot print is also significantly smaller now. Also
probably one of the most cosmetically pleasing designs I have ever seen. It
just has quality written all over it. I really like the new CAT5
Feed-through Joint. Its a molder rubber plug that slips in and clips into
place securely. When you pull the Plug out, it can open up to feed a
pre-terminated cable through, and then closes back around it. Its molded
around the Cat5 Jack, so the rubber is what holds the CAT5 in place, when
you slide it in place. Whoever came up with this design is Brilliant.
Installation times and Customer Approval times, are going to be Lightning
QUICK, with this CPE! Its just a plain predictable time-saver.
It does not offer the flexibilty of Optional add-on Mutli-Card radios or
External ports in the one unit, but its not intended to. Its a fantastic
all-in-one unit for needs up to 21db antenna gain, where you just take it
out of the box and get rolling. This unit is my nominee for Best CPE Design
of the Year, and will be a hard act to follow. (From a Physical perspective,
not meaning to spawn Technology Software Debates, which were argued to death
last month)
